"Henry's 3rd longest run ever with Dad!!" http://instagram.com/p/OJ1JMfqMK5/(He doesn't look thrilled, but I think he's just thinking "WTF?" because I just stopped to take that photo.)

Running has been going good lately! I had the 1 mile race and the 5K just 2 days apart about 2 weeks ago, and after some rest, the distance work is coming back NICELY without any injury issues. I'm still wearing my "night splint" to bed 95% of the time, but the days I don't wear it, my heel usually feels OK.

Henry and I have been running together a lot. In fact, 100% of my miles since my last race have been with him. That's been nearly 40 miles of running, plus another 4 miles in walks. If you don't count my last 3 races (all of which I ran withOUT Henry - duh), Henry and I have logged my last 60.51 training miles STRAIGHT together! That's a good streak!

(And the most recent non-Henry training run was a BRICK workout, so if you take THAT one out, we've done every training run together since late June, for a total of over 86 miles! I'm loving our runs, little guy!!)

KJR, I went out with Henry when he was about 6 weeks, but I took it EASY, and ran on smooth paths. Here's a post with some photos of other "tricks" that helped us: http://iwannagetphysical.blogspot.com/2011/08/i-use-this-06-ironman-bob-stroller.html
